Can't run secondary X server, no screens found

The Loko · 2014-10-13 18:35:29

I have been without using separate X server for a while, now I need them and it seems that something changed with Xorg 1.16

I used to run them with

xinit 'appname' -- : 1 vt$XDG_VTNR

Now there was a permission error (only console users could run X server), I fixed it with allowed_users = anybody on /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
But now I got no screens found error, xorg.conf is fine (because my DE works fine)
This is the error displayed:

I'm not sure about what's wrong here. My desktop loads fine and its xorg.log doesn't have those Nvidia errors.

I have noticed that after running xinit foo --: 1 vt$XDG_VTNR I can't use tty anymore, they won't open.
Some black dots appear on screen too, and I can see some dashes blinking around screen. Now while typing this post I can see one dash blinking on this text box.
Rebooting fixes this.
